Beach Huts Tutorial Part 2

I think the photos speak for themselves at this stage. Using a fusible of your choice cut out the pieces of the Beach Huts and fuse to the back of your chosen fabrics.

A lot of stitching has gone into this piece and so keep everything smooth I like to stitch the details onto appliques before attaching them to the quilt. Fuse them onto a stabilizer as shown below.

I also like to get all the lines stitched onto the background before adding the huts as this saves having to twist and turn around the added pieces. I use mono filament thread for this.

I have added some birds with fabric pen.

Now I add the huts and straight stitch them into place. They are stiff enough for this to be done easily. Just add a few pins to keep them in place.

Here is the finished piecing using an envelope facing. Below is the original one which was pieced with an added border and appliqued first before adding minimal quilting and a traditional binding pieced from left over pieces.

I added 5 huts to this one and let them sit over onto the border for variety.

There we are. I hope you have a go and if you make one I would love to see it.

  1. The beach huts remind me of growing up on the East Kent coast....not so sure I remember the bright blue sky though....

  2. Wonderful picture!! If you'd just showed the end result I would have thought it well beyond me to tackle, but your instructions show how straightforward it really is (although maybe it's not as easy as you make it look) It's the imagination I'm lacking!
    Would love to have a go but sadly I lack the time even more than the imagination!!

  3. I love this quilt. It brings back memories.

    FYI - When I go to scribd to download your pattern for the huts, I am denied access. It says your document is set to 'private' instead of 'public'.
